According to Briefly News, the beastly Benz is the top of the range which accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in a mere 3.8 seconds.

Speaking about his partnership with Mercedes-Benz, Zakes said, “Growing up in the ghetto, everyone dreams of one day driving a Mercedes-Benz. Every car that you drive along the way is just a stepping stone to one day having the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a Benz.”
